Testimonials

My son (7) and my daughter (9) have been attending classes here for the last couple of months. Since attending my son Lucas has found self control and new respect for himself and others. He enjoys every class, sets new personal goals every week and gets excited as he achieves new levels. My daughter Carley has found in the last two month a new sense of confidence and achievement as she has set goals and reached them. The program and teachers at this school have exceeded my expectation. Would recommend this school to any one who would like there son/daughter to be involved in program that sets obtainable goals and supports and encourages success and sharing of knowledge and training.

Dan has infinite patience with our busy boy, and can keep a whole class full of energetic little people focused and on task. They learn both karate and life skills that will help them in all areas of their lives, and in a way that they are having fun while they learn. A great karate experience for everyone!

Sensei Dan, Sensei Sarah, Sensei Mike, Sempi Simon. What a great team, my girls love going to training and have set some pretty mature goals from the training the lessons they have been getting. They also enjoy being Sempi to the younger students as well. With all this they have also developed some great friendships as well...this is much more than a Karate school...it is a dojo!!!
